Raspberry, black cherry, and herbes de Provence on the nose. Lively palate with plum, orange zest, bright aromatics, smooth tannins, and a refined finish.
50% Syrah, 40% Cinsaut, 10% Carignan
Syrah serves as the canvas for the wine with Cinsaut providing bright red fruit flavors and Carignan painting the deeper colors. The grapes were hand harvested from early to mid February and fermented partially whole cluster and partially de-stemmed. After 9 days on the skins and a gentle extraction via light pumpovers, the wine was pressed to a mix of stainless and neutral oak where it aged for 10 months. It was bottled without fining and just a dose of sulfur and sheet filtration at bottling.
